It is not necessary to provide old records. We will send you intake forms to explain your condition. Our providers will use these and the telehealth visit to confirm your diagnoses. If you have medical records, having them available during your telehealth visit can help the conversation.
What Happens When I’m Approved?
When approved, you’ll receive an email within minutes with your digital state-issued cannabis certification, typically valid for up to one year. You can then purchase medical cannabis at licensed Virginia dispensaries.

Is Telehealth Legal for Medical Cannabis in Virginia?
Yes. Virginia allows medical cannabis evaluations using real-time telehealth. Your visit must include a live video conversation—no forms-only approvals.
